Cheap to buy, Low Insurance, VERY Reliable, Low Running costs, Spacious, Nice steering.
Poor Handling, Poor suspension, Lots of Road Noise.
I have owned a Mitsubishi Carisma 1600 for 4 years now, Initially I bought the car with the intention of using it for only a couple of years, Although the car lacks refinement, and quality build, it is the ideal car for someone who does not want to have to rob a bank to maintain a car. The car kinda grows on you and you begin to look at it in a different way with time. It is reliable, sorry, I mean ITS VERY RELIABLE. I bought mine at 42,000 on the clock and now its 100,000 and I have never had ANY problems whatsoever, even minor. Watch out for road noise, it can be annoying and embarassing sometimes. Also the suspension is poor which has a direct hit on the handling NEVERTHELESS you should not notice any of these unless you are trying to pull some serious stunts on the road.
